MB (Modbus)
[I/O]
DESCRIPTION:
The MB command is used to communicate with I/O devices using the first two levels of the Modbus
protocol.
The format of the command varies depending on each function code. The function code, -1, designates that
the first level of Modbus is used (creates raw packets and receives raw data). The other codes are the 10
major function codes of the second level that the LEGEND-MC supports.
NOTE: For those command formats that have “addr”, this is the slave address. The slave address
may be designated or defaulted to the device handle number.
NOTE: All formats contain an h parameter. This designates connection handle number (A thru P).
